I’ve seen on TV some of what has been going on in the Wisconsin House and Senate. Politics aside, the way the votes and meetings have been run lately are unprofessional. They may be legal – though today’s committee meeting doesn’t seem to be – but the behavior is outright bullying. It’s also very petty, which is interesting when coming from professional politicians.*
It gives the appearance of not only no desire to compromise, but because this is being done in spite of what the people in the state want, it also gives the appearance of not caring about the people or what is good for the state. It also looks like maneuvering from people who actually have no popular, logical, rational, responsible or legal foundation for doing what they are doing.
*I know being petty is a major feature of many politicians, but in this case it is so extreme that it seems to guarantee political payback later – either in the government chamber or at the voting booth.
